Orphaned Dartmoor foal Breeze, whose heart-wrenching story featured in last week's Advertiser, is no longer alone after an appeal for cuddly toys resulted in a charity being inundated with offers.

The infant pony had been found close to death on the moor and taken in by Newton Abbot's Mare and Foal Sanctuary.

Although staff were giving Breeze the best medical attention they realised that, just like a human baby, he desperately needed company at night.

Now the sanctuary has enough giant cuddly creatures not only for Breeze but other orphans who might need similar help.
